Annexation Efforts

The Town of James Island's policy is to seek to annex all of James Island that has not been incorporated in the City of Charleston or the City of Folly Beach.    These areas were all included in the first and second incorporations of the Town.   As barriers regarding contiguity are overcome, the Town will seek to annex the properties.  

If you would like to join the Town, please complete an annexation request form  on line or come by Town Hall and fill out a paper form.

The Town is currently seeking to annex West Fort Johnson and East Lighthouse Point.     Here is a copy of the petition.

Appendix A is a list of TMS numbers and street addresses making up the area to be annexed in West Fort Johnson.

Appendix B is a map of West Fort Johnson.   The area to be annexed is in white.

Appendix C is a list of TMS numbers and street addresses making up the area to be annexed in East Lighthouse Point.

Appendix D is a map of East Lighthouse Point.  The area to be annexed is in white.

There are 300 registered voters in the area to be annexed.   The Town currently has a petition drive with a goal of 100 signatures of registered voters in the area to be annexed.  

The tentative date for the annexation election is Tuesday, February 4, 2014.   Registered voters in the area to be annexed will be eligible to vote.   If the majority of those voting choose to join the Town, they will soon be included.
